Some of his best known works include Impression, Sunrise (for which the movement was named), Water Lilies, and Haystacks.

Monet focused more on developing his impressionistic style, painting the famous Impression, Sunrise in 1872 which later served to name the impressionist movement.

Monet painted Camille Monet, on her death bed, a last tribute to his wife.

In Giverny was where Claude Monet planted a vast garden that later inspired his famous works featuring willows and water lilies.

After his wife's death in 1911 and Jean's death in 1914, Monet developed cataracts that affected his ability to see accurate colors.

Claude Monet even went back and adjusted some of these colors after his surgery.

Claude Monet died in 1926 from lung cancer. He is buried in the cemetery of the Giverny church.
